It mostly looks good, though I would have split it into several distinct commits for readability.

My goal was to treat the project directory as nothing more than a cache, with the gitbuild repo as the master source driving the tests. So this works backwards to that. One of the things I was (and am) considering is rather than doing checkout/clean, to simply export each branch to a new directory and build from there. Then the "project" repo could actually be bare. How is this feature intended to be used? It looks like it would basically be invoked one time, when running this script on an existing gitbuild setup. So it saves one manual step of copying your config.mak to the platform directory. But you still have to manually inspect, add, and commit that config.mak file. > + - 'catch', a shell script sourced by the build script if an error > + occurs.

I'm not sure how robust the rest of the script is to paths with spaces (which I personally consider insane). > - for i in `cat "$root/branches"`; do > + for i in `cat "$root/branches" | grep -v '^#'`; do Useless use of cat. :) grep -v ^# < "$root/branches" -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
